From a rancher point of view keep it coming. I would rather cancel some out door fun activities and have as many full water reserves as possible.

There is still room for 21 more feet in Lake Travis. I love to see it full because all the global warming chicken littles have to eat crow. Of course they mostly just disappear until the water levels start to drop again, but that is almost as good. |

I know we need the rain - but couldn't we keep the weekends sunny & dry for some range time?
My outdoor range is a complete Bog. Then it progressed to a Marsh. Now it is a Full On SWAMP (well most of Houston was ALREADY a swamp - but it is even WORSE than usual ...) Trying to get a couple of rifles sighted in for some Piggie Popping over Memorial Day... Rain is NOT helping...  I might have to practice out of my Canoe, and try to time the shots at the peak of the waves for maximum accuracy like gunners did with cannons in the age of sailing ships ... BIGGER_HAMMER

They will just say this is not normal so it must be from climate change not knowing how or just ignoring how averages work. |

I don't think any North Texas lake needs any more rain. So yeah, a break from the rain would be nice.

Y’all can keep it out there, we’re floating away in central Texas We’ve missed out on planting cotton and the rest of our Sudan. Hay season has already been set back and we’ve postponed working cattle twice now. Another week of “shop days” and I’m gonna be in the loony bin

Another week of “shop days” and I’m gonna be in the loony bin We flooded a couple nights ago in that big rain but it wasn't that bad, we only had about 5 or 6 inches of water flowing across our yard. It rained a little yesterday, it's already rained tonight and and we're supposed to get a lot more in a few hours. Some how the flood seems to have got the mosquitoes, though. We went from millions to I didn't see but one or two the next day. We had chiggers by the millions and getting worse every year up to '16. Then we got 15" of rain in 8 hours. That time we had about 18 to 20" of very fast flowing water across the yard. In '17 was the hurricane with about the same amount of water across the yard. I haven't seen a chigger since. It also got rid of all the armadillos that were tearing our yard up so I guess some good comes from the floods. |

Rain Chances of Heavy Rain / Thunderstorms range from 80% - 60% pretty much solid every single damn day until middle of next week in the Houston area...

Been waiting for concrete to be poured for a driveway extension and new patio for 5 weeks. The forms are like dikes, holding the water in. The dog cannot even get out the door without getting muddy...my floors may never recover.
...But I still go with what I was taught growing up in S Tx. Never, ever, say you want the rain to stop. |

“It raineth on the just and unjust.”
And sometimes it just keep raining. Mrs Rabinowitz and I spent more than 2 weeks in FL last month while Texas was getting flooded. Rarely saw rain. Great trip. Very wet spells are common east of I35. Rarely misses a year. It isn’t unusual. |

A look at historic lake levels in NorTX will give you a good depiction of rain patterns. Our wettest time of year is May - June.
This is the history of Lavon Lake for the past few years. If you could go back to ‘14 - ‘15, you would see drought. We have been water wealthy for 5 years now. Another tidbit is that the top two feet of Lavon represents 20% of usable capacity.  Attached File |

Here is DFW as an example: https://www.weather.gov/fwd/dmoprecip Though there is considerable distance between DFW and the Central Plains, it's easy to see how the Dust Bowl got its kickstart. The multiyear drought of the 1950s is seen along with the 2014-2015 dry years that put many of us on draconian water restrictions. It appears that our mean rainfall total per year is approx 36 inches. I thought it was much more than that. Makes you appreciate the past wisdom that decided that flood control/water supply reservoirs were worth the cost. Without them, we would be in horrible shape. |

Of course they mostly just disappear until the water levels start to drop again, but that is almost as good. That's going to change, we've had 13" since Monday and all flows here go directly into the north side of Travis. 3 inches just last night. I need to find a rain gauge with more capacity than 6".

And another 20 or so feet above that before it is close to record levels. Only a few sprinkles here today, but supposed to get more rain tomorrow and even more on Sunday. |

Plus incredible swarms of Mosquitos ... I'm convinced that Houston was settled by Lunatics or Escaped Convicts (or both) thinking "No One in Their Right Minds will Think to look for us in this Hot Humid Hell because no one in their right mind could even consider living in this miserable malarial marsh of heat, humidity & hurricanes, (not to mention all the lethal mosquito diseases) ..." Glad the Rain has let up (some) - but DAMN it would have been nice to carry some "Cool Spring Temperatures" for just a few more weeks ...  BIGGER_HAMMER
